Looking at Josh Gordon's rookie contract he signed in 2012, it's equal to the regular rookie pay scale. So if the Giants bid their 3rd round pick for Beal, he should roughly get a similar contract that Lorenzo Carter signed with the Giants as the 3rd round pick in the 2018 draft (4 years, $4.1 million and $1.05 million signing bonus)
Quote:
Josh Gordon's contract is worth just over $5.3 million and includes $3.8 million in guarantees, which is consistent with Gordon's draft slot. The Browns selected Gordon with the second pick in the second round of Thursday's supplemental draft, making the value of his rookie contract equivalent to the 34th overall pick of this year's regular draft.
St. Louis Rams wide receiver Brian Quick, the first player selected in the second round of April's draft, signed a four-year, $5.386 million rookie contract that included $3.822 million in guaranteed money.
He's a talented player at what is probably our greatest position of need. Gettelamn and Co. have really done solid work since he took over. They've accurately assesesed the roster shortcomings and have effectively tapped into all avenues of personnel acquisition resources available to address them.

It's refreshing but it's also alot easier to assess, admit and attack roster shortcomings when you weren't the cause of the shortcomings.
Beal has a lot going for him as a cover corner. In speaking with team sources, they felt that his ball-reaction skills were his best trait. Beal tracks the football extremely well while running downfield. He high points the ball and is adept at breaking up passes to prevent completions. Beal doesn't panic when the ball is coming toward him and is a real competitor with receivers. He is a physical corner with good length to take on big receivers. At his size, Beal has the ability to be an outside starter in the NFL.
There are some coverage issues that Beal needs to improve on, and that is why some teams sources thought he should have returned for his senior year. Beal can grab too much on receivers and be overly physical downfield. That could lead to issues with pass interference penalties as a pro. Beal needs to improve his skills to run with receivers without grabbing and holding them while running downfield. There also are some evaluators who question Beal's deep speed, and they have some concerns about him taking on elite deep threats. Thus, Beal could use some development in the NFL before being placed in the starting lineup.
Some team sources are very high on Beal and say he has first-round talent. Others say he is a legit second-round prospect.

Where you won't find one person who has a problem with this.
Kid has no off field issues and had the potential to be a first round pick next year. He fell behind in credits after promising his mom that he was going to graduate. He would have had to wait until August on an NCAA decision if they would have allowed him to be eligible.
the Giants need to keep filling in talent at corner. We all know that Eli Apple has a very short leash and the Giants have to be prepared to live without him just in case.
Hope it works out as that was a huge weakness. I would be a bit more upset as I didnt think he warranted more than a 4th, but given the giants 3rd round track history csn it get any worse?
The Giants get a guy who could have been a 1st round pick in next years draft a year early. The Giants are really desperate for depth at CB and now they have added Beal and Grant Haley to the mix. Now let's just hope that Beal can get caught up and actually contribute this year as the 3rd or 4th CB.
This was a very aggressive and smart move by Gettleman.
But I do like that we took a CB. We completely ignored the position in the Draft and signed Grant Haley whose ceiling is a nickel.
The position is suspect. Jackrabbit had a rough year last year and who knows if the situation with his brother will distract. Still, we're counting on him as our #1 CB.
Eli Apple has done well this summer, but we can't forget that last year was an utter disaster for him on and off the field.
And then after those two are even more question Mark's. Let's hope Beal develops well and a position of weakness becomes a strength.
178 is very light. All those numbers are comparable to Apple, except for the fact that he weighed 199.
Thats the beauty of getting this guy into the weight lifting program a year earlier. He has a chance to put on weight now and learn the scheme. Would have been behind on all of that had he stayed in school one more year.
Unlike most supplemental draft prospects of the last decade, Beal doesn't come with red flags off the field. There are no reported failed drug tests. There are no coaches throwing him under the bus as a bad teammate. Instead, a college kid got behind on some credits and was in danger of losing his eligibility. And now NFL teams are ready to jump on this rare opportunity.
@mortreport
Giants had 2nd pick of 3rd round for this draft. Beal was going to some team in this round. Nobody jumped with a 2nd rounder despite temptations.
I like the move - getting a talented player in 1 year earlier
than they would otherwise. plus they will probably get a comp pick for Pugh or Richburg or both that will help make up for the loss of a pick next year.
That said, I don't buy the "first round pick next year". His production was decent (10 breakups, 2 career INTs were both this past year) and his measurables are solid. He probably would have had to improve a lot to get into the first round convo. Probably also fair to say he would have been in the top 100 conversation, and that's about the price they paid, plus they got him a year early.

The last pick of the third is a small price to pay.

Curious to see if this is someone Sy has scouted.
Ugh.
Chad Jones. Ramses Barden. Travis Beckum. Curse, indeed.
Lorenzo Carter and B.J. Hill can do their part to reverse it, too.

He was a safety, and he was good until off field trouble caught up with him.

Love the aggression of the front office. Lets go get this!
I still bring DRC back. He'd be a great teacher for Beal too.
